• Senators Urge Pause on Manorville BESS Facility (lilifepolitics.com) — A major 150-megawatt battery storage facility is proposed for Weeks Avenue in Manorville, prompting two state senators to urge the governor to pause the project over safety and groundwater concerns. They point to past BESS fires and contamination on Long Island and want construction halted until firefighting strategies and environmental protections are better defined. Several other large battery projects are also planned across nearby Suffolk communities. 
• Suffolk County homeowners say contractor took tens of thousands, left jobs unfinished (newsbreak.com) — A Manorville homeowner is among several Suffolk residents who say a Mount Sinai contractor took tens of thousands of dollars for home renovations and then left jobs unfinished or poorly done.
